Dual-code winger Karl Pryce returns to Bradford Bulls to try to recapture his glory days

Bradford Bulls have re-signed Karl Pryce on a one-year contract. The
three-quarter made his debut in 2003 and featured in the World Club
Challenge win over West Tigers before switching codes at the end of 2006
when he went to play for Gloucester.

He returned to rugby league with Wigan Warriors in 2009 and was loaned to Harlequins last season where his massive 6ft 6in and 18st 13lb frame helped him to score 12 tries in 18 appearances.

Pryce, 25, who will wear the No33 shirt at Bulls, said: "To play for my hometown club again is special. When I was 15, and coming through the ranks at Bradford, I think I took that a little bit for granted.

"I've played in Wigan-St Helens derbies and I'm really looking forward to getting back into a Bradford-Leeds derby again. I'm just delighted to be back here because I've missed the place.

"I said a couple of years ago that I'd always love to come back to Bradford. In fact I said when I left the club five years ago that I'd absolutely love to one day return. I've taken the long way round, via Gloucester, Wigan and Harlequins, but I'm happy to be back."

Meanwhile, Huddersfield centre Greg Eden, signed from Castleford in the close season, will make his first appearance for his new club against his old team-mates in Friday's friendly at the PROBIZ Coliseum.

The Giants will also give run-outs to three of their other newcomers, Jason Chan, Tommy Lee and Luke George, as well as youngsters Josh Johnson and Freddie Walker, in their first pre-season trial match.
